Incremental Progress
While the end product may be less than overwhelming, some things are getting finished around the Devil Queen. My big projects for the week have mostly been landscaping.
Sorry, no pictures. Even with a flash, there isn't much to see at night in a thunderstorm. And, incase you've been lying in bed late into the night wondering about it, shoveling gravel is a lot more work than you might imagine. It's definitely worse than your average ditch digging or rock rolling.
I'm working on installing a small drain pipe under the walkway from the Devil Queen to the parking area. I've trenched and installed the drain, so now all I have to do is fill it in and complete thegrave gravel path. I dumped six or seven wheelbarrows worth of gravel last night, but I figure I'm only 1/3 to 1/2 way finished. And, between other commitments and the weather, it may be Saturday or Sunday before I finish.

I understand why no pictures this time, but when you do get around to it, I'm really eager to see your pictures of your improved drainage. I have a major drainage problem in my yard and I'm not very well prepared to deal with it.
I completely understand shoving gravel. I had 14 tons of it delivered last year so I could replace my garage floor and resurface my driveway. There is still about 2 tons of it in a pile in the backyard. Good Luck!!

Hmmm . . . out digging at night, in a thunderstorm . . . your family are all accounted for, aren't they?
(Bwhahahahahaahhaaaahhh!!)
Kelli, I'll try to get some pictures up by next week. Really.
Kristy, thanks.
Kate, that's funny. One missing "l" can make a huge difference in meaning. And, yes, everyone is accounted for at the moment.
Thanks for putting up the Donate button again! Awesome.

Ah, wheelbarrows of gravel. Just the perfect thing for hiding dead bodies...
I mean dirt and drainage problems.
Janine, no, thank you.
Jennifer, really, is there any difference between two besides the jail term?
